I’m sorry to hear about Stephanie Kuleba’s death; by her friends accounts , she was a very nice, popular, honest person. She was cataloged as “perfect". Well, obviously she didn’t feel perfect, otherwise she wouldn’t have died after a breast-surgery.
But what strikes me about her death is not only that she died, it is the way the press has handled the news. No newspaper has reported her death as being caused by anesthesia; which seems to be the cause, all have reported the death of a Boca High School Cheerleader that had a breast surgery.
If we were only to read the headlines, it would look as though the culprit was the breast-surgery, not the reaction to anesthesia. I’m sure there are thousand of cases of people dying during or after surgery because of reactions to anesthesia, but I guess newspapers would consider quite dull a headline such as “Normal human being died after appendicitis". To make it a good headline, it has to be exaggerated and sort of misleading: “Breast-surgery kills West Boca High cheerleader”
The truth is I oppose breast surgeries unless they are for health reasons. All breast are the way they have to be and, in my opinion, a girl with breast implants may look good, but there is nothing like a natural well formed breast, and most of them are.
Yet all women have the right to do with their body what their minds think is the best for them. And plastic surgeons have all the right to perform those surgeries and they do, daily, without incidents.
It takes one case to make a lot of noise, “Breast-surgery kills West Boca High cheerleader”, and to jeopardize the jobs of thousands of doctors and millions of women. And worst jet, its not the breast surgery, but a part of it that is common to all surgeries, anesthesia, which, it seems, is to blame for Stephanie Kuleba’s death.
A final word. If Stephanie is watching from heaven how she’s being treated by friends and media, she must be having conflicting feelings; thankful for the kind words and praises, but ashamed and naked because of the way her death has been portrayed. I’m sure she didn’t want everybody to know she was to have a breast-surgery. That is a personal and private matter, which in her case, is not any longer.
